"Come on!" Garnet yelled. All of them except Peridot jumped off the porch and into action.
"Wait! What do I do?!" Peridot yelled.
"Try helping Steven out of that slime!" Pearl yelled dodging blasts of giant ice shards.
"On it!" Peridot yelled running down the steps and heading for Steven.
Suddenly, a giant boulder was headed for Peridot. "Oh my stars!" Peridot exclaimed closing her eyes bracing for the impact. Nothing happened.
Peridot opened her eyes. A dome of green energy had surrounded her and sent the boulder flying back into the monster's face.
"Alright, P-dot!" Amethyst yelled giving Peridot a thumbs up as she fought off a blast of slime.
Peridot didn't quite understand what just happened, but she didn't care. She kept running towards Steven.
Pearl was surrounded by flames from one of the monster's mouths. "It's so…so…" Pearl didn't get to finish her sentence after passing out from the heat.
"I'm coming, P!" Amethyst yelled running to help Pearl. Amethyst was suddenly wrapped in vines and forced against the cliff. "Let me go!" she exclaimed.
"Pearl! Amethyst!" Garnet exclaimed running towards the two. She was hit with a giant water hand. She summoned her gauntlets and punched it off of her. "That all you got?!" Garnet yelled at the monsters.
Vines gripped onto Garnet's ankles. "Oh, you got that too?" Garnet asked nervously. The monster pulled Garnet's feet out from under her and her head fell to the ground. It kept raising her up and smashing her back on the beach.
Peridot kept running, and the monsters kept trying to fire attacks at her. Giant ice shards were sent her way. Peridot closed her eyes. She opened them to see her gem release green blasts of energy smashing them into bits.
"I'm coming, Steven!" Peridot yelled getting closer to where Steven was pinned down.
Peridot was so detracted by Steven that she didn't see another boulder headed her way. "Peridot! Watch out!" Steven yelled. The boulder hit her in the head and knocked her out cold.
"Peridot!" Steven exclaimed.
One of the monsters raised one of its feet and was about to step on Steven. "Help!" Steven exclaimed.
Suddenly, a giant water hand formed and broke off the creature's rock foot. "Lapis?" the gems asked.
"Nope!" a voice yelled. All the gems that weren't unconscious turned their heads and saw Emerald standing on the beach.
All of the creatures roared. "Alright, you beasts!" Emerald yelled. "Let's dance!"
Fined wrapped round two of the creatures feet. Emerald pulled and made them fall over. Lightning suddenly hit one of the monsters. Whirlpools suddenly formed and moved the creatures around and around. Giant gusts of wind came rolling in. Emerald picked up off the ground and flew up to the creatures' heads.
"Hey ugly!" Emerald yelled at the monster with the stretchable limbs. "Bet you can't catch me!" The monster roared and stretched its hands out and tried to catch Emerald. She up, down, and all around the monsters. With one more loop, the monsters were tied in a knot.
"Ha! Not so tough now, huh?!" Emerald yelled. She suddenly started to glow. Her hair and dress started to flow even more. Her eyes lit up with bright light. The storm began to grow more intense and surround Emerald. She flew towards the tied up monsters with an outstretched fist with light engulfing her. She looked like a shooting star.
Emerald flew right into the middle of the group and there was a big explosion followed by a burst of light.
The gems rubbed their eyes and looked around. Emerald gracefully landed right in front of them.
"What happened?" Peridot and Lapis asked gaining consciousness and rubbing their heads.
"Peridot!" Steven happily exclaimed and embraced her.
"Phew!" Emerald said wiping her brows with one swipe of her hand. "That was intense." In her hand was a green bubble with all the gems off the monsters in it.
All the gems stared at Emerald. They could not believe what they had just seen.
"Well," Emerald said clearing her throat. "I guess I'll just send this away." The bubble disappeared from her hands.
"You…you just…" Lapis struggled to say.
"Saved us," Jasper finished for her. She got back up on her feet and looked unbelieving at Emerald.
"Yeah," Emerald said walking a few steps away from the group. "Don't read into it." She gave them a glance from behind and walked off.
"Emerald, wait. Wait up," Steven said following behind her. Emerald stopped in her tracks and looked at Steven.
"Yes?" Emerald asked.
"Why don't you stay with us?" Steven asked.
"What?!" Lapis exclaimed.
"I don't know, Steven," Emerald said.
"Aw, come on," Steven said. "Please?"
"Well," Emerald said looking at Steven's pleading face. "Okay."
"Aww, yeah!" Steven exclaimed.
"Aww, what?!" Lapis exclaimed.
